Bruno section?

is this a joke? and the guy that was interviewed in Bruno is NOT a leader of Al-Aqsa! see http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/entertainment/palestinian-terrorist-not-amused-over-bruno-cameo-20090729-e0f8.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.175.139 (talk) 16:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This statement from the previous objector

There are basically two sides on the legality of Israel (so far as international law goes). The first is that the 1947 partition recommendation, if ratified in the UN, would establish a legal "State of Israel" within the partition lines. The other is that Israel, in going to war in 1948 and declaring it's independance, actually lost it's charter, and doesn't exist legally. A third, Zionist version, exists, in which Israel exists legally in a way comparable to something like France. This is the position that gets the media-time and such, but has no standing in International Law.

Aside from it not making grammatical sense, postulates that Israel should not exist because of its participation in the war of 1948. I encourage all readers to go to the Wikipedia information on this war and examine this for themselves. I think all historically accurate information on this war shows how the land that is now considered Israel was split up by the UN in 1947 to contain both Arab land sections and Israeli land sections, and that Jerusalem was to be a UN protectorate. Immediately after this happened, the Israeli land sections were attacked on all sides by several Arab countries. Israeli lands responded to this attack, and in the end, the Israeli fighters won 200 percent of their original land sections and created much of what we know as Israel today. I don't know of many who dispute this history with any real credibility. Since this land mass was originally partioned by the UN after British disengagement and then fought over in a war, it does seem that the victors were the Israelis. Also, I feel it is important to mention that when the Palestinians were offered 97 percent of the land mass back that they wanted to form an independent state, they denied the offer, and denied it more than once.

please do not delete the poster refrence, this is no joke. this is very important to understand the full context of the conflict. On one hand, we have israeli soldiers with mandatory recruitment post senior year (turning the army into basically a college dorm), on the other hand we have palestinian soldiers (also same age) doing LOTS i mean LOTS of self promotional posters with cheesy photoshop "cloud" skies, giant view camera angles, and lens flare suns or lens flares on the dome of the rock. These things may be funny, but they are certainly a perspective which we do not hear about much when this conflict is discussed. I was in Bethlehem during the Israeli elections, and it was complete under lock down during the day, which made it look like a giant ghost town. All over almost every boarded shut store front however, were these faded promotional posters of like various small groups of men, in the exact same style as rap album covers.

Yesterday I removed the following phrase "the civilian status of Israelis is desputed internationally." What does it mean? I am pro-Palestinian, I support the right of Palestinians to carry out guerrilla warfare against the Israeli security forces for as long as the occupation continues (hence my changing of "terrorist" to "militant" in this article), as do many people worldwide. But I've never heard many non-Palestians (excluding Islamic extremists) claim that unarmed men, women and going about their everyday lives are not civilians. Even many who support the murder of civilians, or carry it out, still acknowledge that the civilian status of their victims. Just because a country has conscription does not mean unarmed civilians not on military service are legitimate targets. Children and babies are definently not legitimate targets. Using the logic implied in the statement I removed, the Israeli government could argue that there is no such thing as a Palestinian civilian because any one of them could be a non-uniformed guerrilla.

A third, Zionist version, exists, in which Israel exists legally in a way comparable to something like France. This is the position that gets the media-time and such, but has no standing in International Law. The General Assembly is generally understood to have taken the second position (revocation of charter) when it voted to re-assert the right of the Palestinian people to pursue the return of their land by "any means at their disposal". On these grounds, no such thing as an Israeli civilian exists. The UN has also staunchly refused to give into Israel and the USA's demand that Palestinian actions be labelled "terrorist", as according to international law, they are not. All this serves to demonstrate, really, is how little power international law has. According to international law, for example, the United States is required to return all 48% of the Continental US that it itself has deemed un-ceded land, along with the 3% it claims by "right of conquest" from Indigenous Peoples. That doesn't really mean it's anywhere near about to happen.

In practical terms, some sort of an idea of who is civilian in "Israeli" society would focus on those who have forced citizenship: Syrians in the Golan Heights, who Israel illegally stripped of Syrian citizenship, and anyone who was living in Palestine before the 1948 war and loss of charter. But these wouldn't actually be Israeli civilians anyway, but would be Syrian and Palestinian (the statehood of Palestine having been recognized by the UN some time ago as is evident in the "by any means" resolution.) A similar situation was proposed in international law for South Africa during Apartheid, but wasn't as strong a case because the State of South Africa was not a creation of the UN, uniquely beholden to it's charter, as Israel was.

The following was removed until a proper citation will be provided: However Israel has completely refused to allow this documents to be scrutinized by independent observers, raising doubts as to their authenticity. MathKnight 21:34, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Moving article to different name

After Arafat died, the Al-Aqsa Brigades renamed themselves to: Brigrades of Martyr Yasser Arafat or Al-Shaid Yasser Arafat Brigades. What do you think about renaming the page's name as well? (the al-aqsa brigadeds will be a redirect to the new page). MathKnight 11:21, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If this is official, there is no question that it should be moved to the correct name. As a mention is already made in the first paragraph, I'll just move the page now. --Ardonik.talk()^* 04:51, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

It's Al-Shaheed Yasir Arafat Brigades, not Al-Shaid, though i'm not sure if it's a rename of Al-Aqsa, please correct spelling. HussaynKhariq 19:08, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Alan Harry Goodman

Isn't the name of Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades somewhat connected to goodman's shooting in 1981?

I don't know about that shooting but the Al-Aqsa Brigades were formed on 2000. It might be that the Fatah\PLO - mother organiations for the Brigades, were involved. MathKnight 17:52, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why not terrorist?

If (some consider) HAMAS is a terrorist group, why none objected that this group called militant rather than terrorist? I think yhis group done the same thing that HAMAS done.202.69.101.170 07:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marwan Barghouti

Admittedly my understanding of this subject is not thorough, but is it NPOV to list Barghouti here as the high commander of Al-Aqsa Brigades without any qualifying statements, given that he categorically denies involvement with Al-Aqsa? From what I've gathered he was the leader of Fatah, Al-Aqsa's parent body, in the West Bank, and his conviction on murder charges as leader of Al-Aqsa is widely contested. It's plenty true that he was convicted, but it seems that if there is a vocalized contention that he was not in fact the organization's leader or even a participant, the negating claim deserves mention anyplace that the connection is asserted. Here is a reference for context: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1473585.stm I am adding a clarifying sentence to the section that mentions him.Brrryan 21:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I Interviewed the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade 2 Weeks Ago . . .

. . . and this article, like most articles on Zionistpedia, is wrong, Wrong, WRONG! I was at ground zero when the Israelis attacked Ramallah on January 4, 2007, and members of the Al Aqsa Brigade were the only persons who protected my life while the Israelis came in with both guns a blazin', illegally using military force in the middle of a civilian vegetable market in complete disregard of both human life and international law.

"and this article, like most articles on Zionistpedia" - ah the voice of reason - no stereotyping or labelling here!

The al-Aqsa Intifada

I think this is one of the odd effects you get when you mix languages, but it is common usage to have a double article. al-Aqsa is the Palestinian term for Jerusalem, or more specifically, the al-Aqsa Mosque - literally the furthest mosque. However the 2nd intifada is generally known as The al-Aqsa Intifada. (see [1] and [2]). Other examples of this double article is seen in the article Smithy code which refers to "the The Da Vinci Code copyright case" and phrases such as "the El Niño weather system" and "the Le Mans circuit".

Fatah and Arafat

The quote "It is disputed whether or not the brigades have a direct relationship with the leaders of Fatah" is not supported by the reference, the Council on Foreign Relations, so I removed it. There is really no serious reason to continue the charade regarding the creation and financing of the Martyrs' Brigades. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.200.35 (talk) 22:43, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Activities edit request

Bnei Brak shooting occurred in 2022. There is currently a typo in the year.

Additionally, in a video statement, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the April 29, 2022 Ariel settlement drive-by-shooting perpetrated by two Palestinian assailants that claimed the life of an Israeli 23-year old male security guard stationed at the settlement entrance.

Pretty interesting. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a schism between Al Aqsa Martyrs and Abbas, but it is very ambiguous whose side most of Fatah are on. Al Aqsa Martyrs (or people claiming to be them) often use flags and insignia of Fatah, but it is unclear weather the support is mutual. Hamas have repeatedly requested Marwan Barghouti in hostage negotiations.

Ibrahim Nablusi is described as being from Fatah in some English language Palestinian media as if that's uncontroversial. But possibly he was just a Fatah supporter, it could be like the USA where people are "Republican" or "Democrat" for just preferring them to the other major party?

It's more plausible than secularism, sources say secularism, but I cannot fathom what they mean by it. They're named after a mosque and every public statement I've seen starts by quoting the Quran at length. Possibly it's some nuanced detail about the structure of government? After 4 months of "Hamas are ISIS" I'm too cynical to think it's that nuanced, but I'm not really sure what to think of it. Irtapil (talk) 18:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Irtapil

Hi there Irtapil.

Secularism in middleeast Cambria difficult subject to research about because unlike Europe or East Asia we do not see any. of time that's relinquished the religious institutions completely in any country in Middle East. this is because the historical consequences and the religiosity of general population that's why the secularism in Middle Eastern politics play a legal and political role rather than cultural one.

As I live in Turkey, let me give examples from my country as I can remember:

Ataturk declared Turkish Republic as "Islamic Republic" in Teşkilat-ı Esasiye even though CHF (Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası, predecessor of CHP) was secular. Later the constitution overruled this old law. https://tr.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Te%C5%9Fk%C3%AEl%C3%A2t-%C4%B1_Es%C3%A2s%C3%AEye_Kanunu
Assembly in Ankara had a wuotation from Quranic surah Shura as a point of legitimacy, this practice only abandoned after the assembly was transferred to a newly built house. https://www.indyturk.com/node/232331/t%C3%BCrkiyeden-sesler/haydi-dan%C4%B1%C5%9F%C4%B1n-g%C3%B6r%C3%BC%C5%9F%C3%BCn-4

Still in modern times many secular, even some communist ones, parties would quote Islamic text and say "Allah" without any intention to adopt Islamic law or enforece Islamic policies of any kind. In fact one of the slogans of opposition was "Düşmez kalkmaz bir Allah, hayır olur inş'Allah" (One who never fails is Allah, let it be veto/blessing by will of Allah) https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&v=B5NgeRp9p2s

So, secularism not in cultural but in purely legal and political form. Except for South Yemen, I really can not even recall any attempt of state atheism in middle east.

Back to Arab World and Palestine, every time secularism was tried in middle-east we will see nationalism and populism being used as a balancing factor as if you can not use religion a cause to unite people, you have to reky on alternatives. Hence why many attempts of secularism around middle east ended up being militaristic and populistic.

There is no proof Fatah wants to establish an Islamic State nor adopt Islamic law, like many other examples around middle-east such as Baathists and Nasserists, they used Islamic sayings and statements to rally people behind their cause in populistic manner.

"After 4 months of "Hamas are ISIS" (propagation)" (Irtapil)

I am not sure how Hamas and Fatah are same organisations, I would be glad to listen if you want to explain what you mean by this. Nonetheless, we, as in encyclopedia editors, should remember WP:SOAPBOX and simple slogans and repeated sentences should not effect the way of our thinking.

If youa re asking about Hamas, not Fatah, yes Hamas is an Islamist organisation as its' aticle also states: Hamas

It is night here, have a good night!

Infobox & Conflicts

Much like how the al-Qassam Brigades page possesses an infobox and list of engagements, we should add one listing the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades engagements and allies & opponents in them. It should include the Second Intifada, Israel-Gaza Conflict, specific engagements within that in the current war, 2021, 2014, 2012, & 2009. We should list Israel, PA security forces (in 2020s) as opponents & other armed groups (i.e. al-Qassam, Saraya, Abu Ali Mustafa etc.) & PA security forces in the 2000s as allies.

(no if you're wondering they didn't participate in the 2007 Battle of Gaza, iirc) Gavv523 (talk) 21:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed content

The content added by @Durranistan: and removed by @Dogukeppanohokutotenkachojo: probably should be partially kept or kept with revisions. It was more thoroughly cited than most of what's already here, and certainly less out of date.

Enemy of Israel seems sort of implied?

There was a source for militant allies, and plenty of other pages here have further sources. But skip the dates, i suspect the Hamas alliance might be 2007. They seem to have maybe switched sides when Fatah and Hamas had a minor civil war, but it's a bit hard to tell. So just it as current ally with no date?

Enemy of PA needs a source, but a source probably exists? But it seems to be a bit fluctuating.

I know they're not a listed terror group in Australia, so they was correctly committed, we only list Hamas and PIJ (I think expanding from Al-Qassam to Hamas is recent), not sure about the rest but it should be easy to find and whatever we find it in well likely be a good source for all the unsourced "listed terror group in" on other pages.

Not designated terrorists in Australia

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

What I think should be changed: Please remove Australia from "Designated as a terrorist group"

Why it should be changed: It's not supported by the references in the text, and Australia's list of terrorist organisations doesn't include Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades or Fatah.

References: Listed terrorist organisations in Australia.^[1]
